"I am more than a little nervous around needles- I've
had a lifelong phobia. But when Almine cleared a
severe cold in my mom and boyfriend, each in only one
treatment, I knew Almine's acupuncture was worth a
try.

Her cheery, nurturing demeanor immediately put me at
ease. But Almine was so gentle with the needles, I
couldn't even feel them going in! To my surprise,
Almine's acupuncture was not only healing, but deeply
soothing.

Now, I crave Amine's treatments. She has that rare
gift of healing. I would highly recommend her
treatments to anyone- especially the needle phobic!"
